Just heat the pan and add laundry detergent over it. Cover it with wet paper towels and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Then, remove the towels and scrape off.

How to Clean Dirty Oven Racks

Put the oven rack in a large plastic trash bag and add ⅓ cup dishwashing liquid, 1 cup white vinegar, and hot water to almost fill the bag. Then fill your bathtub with warm water and place in the bag with the rack. Leave it there for one hour. Remove the rack from the bag and scrub, rinse, and air-dry.

How to Clean the Inside Walls of Your Microwave
